I Don’t Want To Be Popular

Tao Xia, piano professor from the Music Department of QQU, hosted a banquet at the Qianhai Hotel.

At six o'clock in the evening, people began to arrive.

Chen Chuan and a young man named Dong Jian were chatting outside the hotel.

Dong Jian's father is Dong Chengang, a piano professor at the Provincial Academy of Art. He followed his father to watch the competition.

Because he saw Chen Chuan's piano skills on the spot, Dong Jian was impressed.

"Chen Chuan, I'm two years older than you. I started practicing piano when I was 6 years old and have been practicing for 16 years. In the end, I can't even compare to your skills. I'm really convinced." Dong Jian said.

"A prize, a prize, a prize." Chen Chuan smiled.

"That pale green Bentley...is yours?" Dong Jian looked at the Bentley parked not far away.

Seeing Chen Chuan nod, he went over to take a look, and praised: "What a handsome car, yes, brother! I worked hard, and my dad bought me a Quattroporte, and I was satisfied, and I also met him Some pretty girls.”

"How did we know each other?" Chen Chuan asked.

"A group of car enthusiasts, we plan to set up a car club. There is no Martha Car Club in our city. It's just a matter of these few days. Will I take you to have fun when the time comes? There are so many girls, and they are all pretty." Dong Jian said .

Dong Jian is from Haiqin City, but his father teaches at Quancheng Art Academy. He is 22 years old this year, with an average height of 175 centimeters, thin cheeks, and a slight smile. He has a boyish smile, which makes him feel more candid.

Chen Chuan chatted with him about piano, car clubs, and beautiful girls.

A white BMW 5 Series drove up and stopped aside.

The car door opened, a pair of long legs stepped out, and a slim and beautiful girl got out of the car.

Dong Jian looked at it and said, "This is beautiful."

Chen Chuan took a look and saw that this was Qin Xiang.

This 5 Series is Professor Tao Xia's car. She really obliged her and called Qin Xiang over.

Tao Xia parked the car, got out of the car and came over and said: "Come to Qin Xiang, let me introduce to you, this is the champion of the youth group of piano masters, and also our master piano, sophomore student, Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan, this is yours Senior sister Qin Xiang, the champion of the city guzheng masters competition last year, you can get to know her."

Chen Chuan stretched out his hand.

Qin Xiang held it up and smiled: "So you said you wanted to win the championship, and you really won the championship. It's amazing."

Chen Chuan squeezed Qin Xiang's hand.

In reality, he and Qin Xiang met because they bought a house and were tied together because of the "incomplete unilateral red line", but the reality is 2019.

Now here is 2017, Qin Xiang is in his third year of college, and he still has a youthful and sunny smile.

She can dance and sing, a guzheng champion, and a future Douyin celebrity. She has a bright smile, clear eyes, and a complexion as snow. Standing here, she is more beautiful than the sunset in the west. Even passers-by can't help but look back at her.

"Professor Tao, this champion is naughty. He squeezed my hand." Qin Xiang said suddenly.

Tao Xia's face froze, she looked at Chen Chuan, and said seriously: "Classmate Chen, you can't do this! Even if you are a fair lady and a gentleman, you can't violate etiquette like this!"

Chen Chuan didn't expect that Qin Xiang would tear him down on the spot, and felt so embarrassed. He grinned: "Haha, haha... I'm so happy with my appearance. When I saw Qin Xiang's beauty, I couldn't help but squeeze it. Come on, shake your hand again." once."

Qin Xiang smiled and stretched out his hand again.

Chen Chuan shook her hand gently, and the two separated immediately.

Dong Jian stretched out his hand and said, "Hello Qin Xiang, my name is Dong Jian."

Qin Xiang smiled politely and was about to reach out to hold it...

Chen Chuan pushed Dong Jian and said, "Let's go, I'm so hungry. Let's go in and have a dinner."

Dong Jian staggered as he was pushed, and he couldn't hold Qin Xiang's hand.

Tao Xia said: "Let's go, Qin Xiang.

go in. Dong Jian is the son of Professor Dong Chengang of the Provincial Academy of Art. "

Qin Xiang said: "Professor Tao, why did you invite me? Did Chen Chuan tell you that you wanted me to come?"

Tao Xia knew that Qin Xiang did not mince words and did not hide anything from her. She said directly: "Well, because Chen Chuan's piano skills are the only ones we have seen in our lives. He has the qualifications to compete for the national championship and even win the world championship." The strength of Piano Laurel. I want to invite him to dinner, but he only has one request, which is to ask you to come. You, do you know him? "

Qin Xiang nodded: "Two weeks ago, he went to the dance club to strike up a conversation with me. A few days ago, he went to the piano club and said he wanted to be the president. I was also there."

"Let's eat first. The teacher won't say much, but you young people seem to know each other a little bit about what Chen means. Everything depends on your feelings. The teacher will never make up for anything." Tao Xia said.

Qin Xiang laughed: "Professor Tao, if you say so, this is considered matchmaking!"

Tao Xia said earnestly: "You are the teacher's favorite student. If you don't want to, the teacher will never let him bully you. What the teacher means is... you are both excellent musicians and you can have a good exchange of professional aspects."

The two of them talked and entered the hotel.

Chen Chuan took out his camera and walked to Qin Xiang.

"Qin Xiang, this camera contains a video of me playing the piano in a competition. I would like you to help me edit it. I will put it on Douyin. I will use your skills and aesthetics to edit it well and give you a reward." Chen Chuan said.

"Do you know that I can edit?" Qin Xiang was confused.

"A beauty like you must like to take selfies. You should have taken selfies in short videos, cut vlogs, and maybe uploaded them to the platform. I guess you should be able to, and you look smart, so what? It’s not just a matter of time,” Chen Chuan said.

Qin Xiang covered his mouth and chuckled, and said coquettishly to Professor Tao Xia: "Teacher, look at him, does this count as bullying me?"

Tao Xia asked in confusion: "Where is the bullying?"

"He said I took a short video of myself!" Qin Xiang laughed, "They call it a short video, not a short video."

"Isn't it the same?" Tao Xia said, "Sit down first and talk while eating. There are many new friends at the table. Let's get to know each other first."

…

Since he did not inherit the [True Sobering Pill], Chen Chuan only had a limited taste in drinking.

The guests at the banquet were all famous figures in the piano industry in the province.

Dong Chengang, Liang Xinyan, and Tao Xia are all pianists.

Among them were several leaders from the Art Department of Piano University and Haiqin Art College, including the two vice-deans, the director and deputy director of the Piano Professional Committee of the Municipal Musicians Association, and the largest official present, Secretary-General of the Piano Committee Zhang Zhe.

Dong Chengang said: "Chen Chuan, I think you and Dong Jian can get along quite well. Come visit the teacher's house on the weekends. You young people have common topics and can play together."

Professor Liang Xinyan drank a glass of beer and said, "Classmate Chen Chuan, my girl is in Haiqin Art School. She has just entered the freshman year in the piano department. When do you have time, can you communicate?"

"Thanks to the support of the two professors, I will definitely visit you one day." Chen Chuan said.

Tao Xia said: "Chen Chuan, there is a piano in the hotel lobby. Chen Chuan, are you going to play another one for the teachers?"

Chen Chuan knew that this was Professor Tao Xia's intention to show her face in front of several art figures in Haiqin City and even the province, so he said: "The student has shown his shame."

Chen Chuan walked out of the room and sat down in front of the piano in the hall.

Everyone at the table went out and stood in the hall.

Chen Chuan closed his eyes, heard the sound of waves outside Qianhai Hotel, and placed his hands on the piano keys.

He did not show off his skills, and did not choose the difficult Moonlight Sonata, Islame, or super-tech etudes.

Based on the moonlight, waves and evening breeze outside the window, he played a simple song "With Orchids".

Everyone here can play this piece by Yanni, even since they were in elementary school.

However, just like a song, if the same tune is played by someone else, the artistic conception will be completely different.

As the notes sounded, no one in the audience showed a look of disdain because it was "With Orchid".

Everyone was listening attentively.

Qin Xiang rubbed the bridge of her nose with the index fingers of both hands, slowly closed her eyes, and relaxed her mind to the music, as if she was on the sea level, sitting in a small boat. At night, the moonlight was cold and the sea was calm. She slowly opened her eyes. , seeing the huge moon above her head, her boat and her people, small and quiet under the moon.

This song is floating in the sky and on the earth.
